connecting problems and experimentation

[forex]

hello all

i have a flashed ds lite with SC lite micro SD

my router is a proprietary french "freebox"

configured this way

wep on

dhcp active with ip limited from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.5

my DS MAC adress associated to 192.168.0.3

i cannot have access to any router log

 

 

if i use regular game (like mario kart) no problem to connect

if i use dsftp 2.3 it stop with error connecting

cannot have a regular ip from my router (dhcp request seems to fail)

 

if i use the wifi_lib_test,

using WFC config cannot connect

on upper screen i can see:

sgip_dhcp_start()

arp: request ip from 0200A8C0 to 0500A8C0 but not 0300A8C0 (hex of 192.168.0.3)

lower screen ASSOCSTATUS_ACQUIRINGDHCP

 

using manual config with wep on and correctly filled

dhcp and dns auto

no connection with ASSOCSTATUS_ACQUIRINGDHCP

and no arp request on upper screen

 

using manual config with wep on and correctly filled

dhcp auto and dns correctly filled

same as previous

 

using manual config with wep on and correctly filled

dhcp and dns filled by default:

192.168.1.139 / 192.168.1.1

Connected!

 

using manual config with wep on and correctly filled

dhcp and dns correctly filled

192.168.0.3 etc...

Connected!

 

if it can help for correcting bug and adaptation to various router

dswifi lib is great anyway

If you still can't connect because it can't acquire youre dhcp do the following.

 

Found the solution

 

In a wifi game you need to go to the settings and enter the settings manually for your connection.

 

so you need to enter the wifi settings for your connection and select no for auto-obtain ip address.

 

Now to find this info if using XP

 

click start > run and type in

 

cmd /k ipconfig /all

 

and press enter.

 

You will need to enter the IP Address of the DS - this will be the same as the IP address shown by doing the above but change the last number to anything between 0 and 99, i used 5 so my ip entered is - xxx.xxx.x.5

 

the subnet mask is under the ip address in the command window

 

Gateway is under the subnet mask

 

Then the Primary and Secondary DNS should be just below.

 

Now to run Beup or any other wifi app you need to start a wifi game.

 

For example mario kart, connect to the ds wifi and then reset your DS. RESET, do not turn it of or it wil not work.

 

I have a supercard so i press the button combination.

 

Now run BEUP or any other wifi program.

 

It should connect.

 

I only have one so I entered the same for both and it worked fine.

 

I've noticed that resetting Mario Kart DS with the supercard software can corrupt the upper screen. (No it's not broken.) I mean that it could not show the upper screen correctly with beup or win2ds or some apps.

 

You need to connect with tetris ds and then softreset, then the screen would stay normal.

 

Try this!! It works for me.
